no performance loss here with Asus board. I wonder if these tested CPUs are already damaged and it's affecting the performance with lower voltages. My Asus board is on the lower end of the scale so maybe it's isolated to the gamer type overclock centric boards.
updated to the beta bios for Asus z790 Prime P. With my 13700k default score was 29500 in Cinebench and when I added a small undervolt of -.060 in XTU my score went to 30120. I previously had a score of 30300 with a -.070 undervolt on some July bios so I'm right in line with where I was. I never...
most people are reporting drops within the margin of error 1-2%. There are a few that are in the 5-10% range. I wonder if those people have CPUs that now require higher than normal voltage to run at peak?
beta bios with the microcode fix are out from Asus for some of the Z series boards. My Z790 Prime hasn't been updated yet but I did see Strix and a few more...
I've been closely monitoring voltages, temps etc. for a bit now and haven't noticed anything outside the ordinary. Admittedly this is after I updated bios from ones that were 1.5 years old so time will tell. The only time I've had any issues I've had with my 13700k the last year that I can think...
This...I've been on a 13700k for over a year, using old Asus bios from Feb '23, only tinkered with undercoating a week or so then put it back to stock. I've never really had any issues. I did update bios last week, do an undervolt in XTU and will update again next month when the fix is out but...
Upgraded to a 13700k and Asus z790 Prime-P last summer and outside of Baldurs Gate 3 having occasional crashes in Act 2 it's been a pretty solid system. I never even bothered updating Bios or anything. I guess I'll start paying more attention next month when this update rolls out.
I think this is why I'm skipping this generation now...I just can't stomach paying $1000 for basically a 2 year old card that's getting replaced by the next gen in a year. If it were $800 then yeah. I guess I'll go RTX 5080 and hope it's not $1400 at launch, require 2 12hwpwr connections and...
yup, disappointing. and if Im spending a grand it wont be until RTX 5 series. Now Im kind of wishing I jumped on the $799 XTX deal and might just say to hell with it and do it if it pops up again.
Im really wanting to grab one of the new 4k oleds and start the 4k gaming venture but it would...
The 7900XTX did hit an Amazon sale a couple weeks ago for $799. It sat there at that price for hours and Im glad it went off sale, almost bit a few times that day.
Ive said it before and Ill say it again. If I can find a regular 4080 at $900 Im not thinking about it and clicking the buy button.
I really don't upgrade GPUs often, usually skip a couple generations so I was thinking more long term. If I did upgrade my 3070 this generation it would be for 4k gaming with ray tracing, dlss etc but mainly I'm really needing that 3070 in another system.
I went from an 8600k 16gb ram to a 13700k with 32gb ddr5 and the difference in that alone was quite large when paired with just a 3070FE. I'm kind of eyeballing a 4070ti Super or 4080FE but we'll see.
